NAQ
The Negative Acts Questionnaire (NAQ; © Einarsen, Raknes, Matthiesen & Hellesøy, 1994; Hoel, 1999) is a research inventory developed for measuring perceived exposure to bullying and victimisation at work. Bullying research has lacked a standardised measurement tool (cf. Hoel, Rayner, & Cooper, 1999). Thus, incomparable measures and operationalisations have been used in research on workplace bullying. As a consequence we do not know if the same phenomenon has been measured across different studies. As no standard measure of workplace bullying exist in this field, we propose that the NAQ should be used in future studies allowing better comparisons of survey results from different national cultures and organisational settings. The NAQ is free to use for non-commercial research projects.
